I haven't heard your music either....but would either City Centre Offices, Worm Interface, or deFocus be a possible label to try? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe try zod records flea? they have some pretty experimental stuff there was one label though that mainly released minidisc albums.... forgot the name tough.... had some experimental math beat stuff.... pretty neat label, Ill see if I can find the link. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the minidisc one.. merck? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
out of the three you proposed: warp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

m3rck = cool |

you gotta try realistically if you have a tight budget, so far you are shooting for pretty big labels. i would send to smaller labels and try and build some sort of a relationship with them, your chances are higher, and from their you will have recognition and support and be able to shoot for more well known labels. just my two cents. |

hell yes, merk is the shit, thats one of the labels that my group is trying the hardest to get on. we know adam johnson personally, and have chatted with a few of the guys from merk. soon to be sending out the demo (although they already have one from adam johnson)...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rephlex, of the three you mentioned... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd not bother sending one to Warp. Those guys will get thousands of demos a week and seem to prefer going for the outstanding figures of the smaller labels, those that will sell for sure. I'd suggest replacing Warp with another label in your list depending if you feel your music would be suited to that label. I'm no fucking expert tho. At the end of the day I'm still sat here board to hell at work with my only pleasure being to buy the music. :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I agree with you re: warp. I think it's cheaper & makes more business sense for them to poach artists from smaller labels. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But for the cost of a CD or Minidisc I would say it is worth the risk. Particularly as Flea is one of the most talented artists I have heard on the board. Almosts makes me want to start up my own label :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
SKAM.. . stay away from that pesky Rephlex label. .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Warner brothers..... or Sony ... give something back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
So where can I hear your music, then maybe I'll tell you where to send it! |

sub pop |

i would say SKAM.... send them more times .... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
be MEN02?.. . nobody else is....... |
||||||||

my mate and i are going skam ourselves |

whaddayamean rockenjohnny? |
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that depends if you like idm or braindance... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imo, your sound wouldnt fit at all on skam. id say warp, but they rarely sign new artists, they sign already established artists on other labels as if they dont take risks anymore. this would leave rephlex, the label im less familiar with... but good choice trying schematic. good luck! |

It seems ludicrous that you are limited to one more demo because you can't scrounge up a bit of money unless you're a hobo or something. I can think of 2 possible reasons you'd want to be on a label: 1) to sell your records and make money 2) to have a realease among your musical heros 1) you can try cdbaby.com instead- much less people will take a look without the promotion that goes along with being on a label though 2) you can actually hobnob with these people by email. they're just normal people,... almost. I doubt autechre would just respond to a fan email though. It's understandable since 1) they might be too popular to be able to bother with that without sacrificing their other interests 2) since they are popluar, they have to watch what they say since memes, which can be annoying and unfriendly, can be spread easily. Otto will probably answer you though. He has his own website now www.ottovonschirach.com and he has some sort of a remix section or something. |

Thanks for all the great advice guys..but there has been some um developments since I started this thread..I went to the post office and posted a copy and I was using the thin plastic case..like the onessome of the CD-R comes in..on account of that the postagetotaled to half the amount I wasoriginally quoted and since I had already budgeted out the money thatmeans thatI can send out twice as many demos if I keep using the thin sleeves..so I am like..wheee..and will be sending demos all of these three and some more even :) BTW..I am not an egotistical big head..and know that my chances at places like Warp are slim to none...and I mentioned my reservations about sending them demos as such..but the excellent,encouraging and supposrtive bunch you are here(wMw,qrter, Mickey, Zeus, Clic, to name but a few) encouraged me to throw caution to the wind and send demos out to em anyway..so there..as long as that is clarified...me = no delusional big head.. thanks again:) |
